that realtors can then pay school fees, buy groceries, put gas in the car, may mortgage, etc. etc. Then that $20m house isn't going to build itself that will employ bahamian architect, bahamian engineering, contractors, tradesmen etc. etc. and these guys don't want no regular old home they want state of the art top of the line everything. guess who is hired to install it? And then guess what, a small crew has to be employed full time to maintain it. There's an IT contract to maintain the smart home, theres a landscaping contract to maintain the yard. someones paying a hefty home insurance bill and some bahamain is making the commission on that policy. then don't forget the 10% tax to buy it that goes directly into the public slush fund and annual property taxes into the public slush fund. stop being so xenophobic. If you want to go be a farmer, no one is stopping you but i suspect you wouldn't know red soil from black soil if it hit you in the face.
maybe it is in the public best interest that there are no secrets in government. If you think that gov't should have these kinds of secrets - you are the problem.
its nothing but plain prejudice of one group in favour of another. When it is done by doctors it is ok i guess? because doctors are always 100% infallible and nothing but the best integrity. Ha!

out of that $20M id suggest roughly half of that stays in the country in taxes, wages, insurance, etc. etc.
